Ran Yan spoke calmly, but her words were alarming. The matchmaker quickly said, "Lady Xiaoliang, please calm your anger. I am merely acting on someone's behalf. If you do not like it, you can dismiss the idea. You are pregnant and should not be agitated or travel far."
Ran Yan picked up a plum and paused, "It's not that I'm angry. But you are right, I should not travel far."
Just as the matchmaker had begun to relax, Ran Yan mused, "Then I shall stay at the Zheng residence for a while, to nourish the fetus."
These words nearly made the matchmaker stagger. She steadied herself, about to persuade Ran Yan otherwise, only to hear Ran Yan say, "Ge Lan, see the guest out."
"Matchmaker Qian, my Lady is with child and cannot sit for long. Should you make this match a success, the Lady will surely visit in person to express her thanks," Ge Lan said with a smile.
